Guidebook Vol 2
Prayer | Practice | Place

Styled like a travel guide, each volume invites us to rediscover the sacred in the everyday — to re-place our faith in the context of real streets, shared meals, and ordinary wonder.

This release marks the second year in a 10-year initiative. Each year, a new volume will be added — building a library of tools to help individuals, churches, and communities stay rooted, curious, and connected. Whether you're reading a blessing for public utilities, hosting an ice cream social, or reflecting on the meaning of the local football field, these pages offer a vision of faith that is local, lived, and rooted.

Purchase Volume 1, Volume 2, or both — and discover tools to help root your faith in place.

God of Place

We pray to you Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
but we do not pray in abstraction.
For you are the God who demands specificity.
You are Jesus of Nazareth.
the Word made flesh,
born of Mary,
the eternal Son of God,
raised in the home of Joseph the carpenter.

Alongside neighbors—many of whom we might not have met otherwise—we dug, planted, watered, and weeded, and slowly learned the rhythm of life in the garden.

Grow + Gather

Describing a generative place like Grow + Gather isn’t easy, even for founder, George Gastis. “I always had this idea of an urban farm, part restaurant, part coffee shop, part gathering space that hosts things that bring people together.” George shares where the seeds of this came from, “Food was the natural hook. My dad was a big gardener, and my mom was an amazing cook. They both grew up in farming families in Greece.” “The simple version is, Grow + Gather is an urban farm and food-centric marketplace.” The goals of Grow + Gather are in plain sight. It’s all in the name—a place to grow food and for people to gather.
